The amount of resistance compared with the inductive reactance determines the _____ of the coil.
A) power factor (PF)
B) quality (Q)
C) phase angle ( θ )
D) reactance (X)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The quality (Q) of a coil is determined by the amount of resistance compared with the inductive reactance. This quality factor indicates how underdamped an oscillator or resonator is, and characterizes a resonator's bandwidth relative to its center frequency.
